In California - The Earthquake Trail and Muir Beach

Apr 20, 2011 12:38

We're up in the North Bay right now, and visiting things we've missed since moving to Massachusetts. Internet time is sparse because we're very busy and we don't always have it wherever we stay, but I'm taking lots of pictures and plan to post as I can ( Read more... )

Oh, the California poppy <3 What a beautiful photo; what a beautiful flower, and with raindrop gems, too.

Loved the lamppost art, tiny figures. Looks like maybe a signature in Korean underneath that first one?

Slugs have such magnificent eye stalks--I somehow imagined the banana slug would be brighter yellow, though. Still, he is magnificent in any case. As is the misty view from Muir Beach Overlook.

The poster on earthquakes made me think, we should bake earthquake cakes--earthqakes, if you will. With fault lines.

And mmm, burritos!

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's katakana under the first figure, and it's driving me nuts because it's a little too sketchy for me to be sure of half the letters... TENROTORO-something? Maybe? Dunno.

The bird probably has some kanji, which is even more hopeless for me.

Could be! If the artist stylizes her kana and kanji as much as taggers writing in English stylize their roman-alphabet letters, I'd say we're doomed, when it comes to decipherment!

The bird looks like so! ? te.

Definitely a better quality of graffiti up there!

I bet there's some good stuff down your way, too. It's a matter of sorting the signal from the mass of noise.

Thank you, dahling! So nice to see you here!

How fun! I especially love the poppy; I keep trying to grow them here, but it never works out. Our seasons are probably too harsh and relatively dry.

They can grow in dry weather, but I bet the cold in your neck of the woods is their downfall.

That bird graffiti is lovely. So is the golden poppy (I've only ever seen red ones 'live') and that lovely foggy sea right off the craggy-grassy bit of land.

Thank you for sharing the best bits of your trip.

Thanks for reading! I love the California Poppy. It grows all over the state, even in the dry areas where I grew up. It's a lovely flower. *g*
